The police fear revenge after the murder of a gang leader

A gang leader who was previously connected to the Foxtrot network is suspected of having been murdered in Iraq, according to Aftonbladet’s information.

Now the police are preparing for the spiral of revenge that can be triggered.

Text messages about overtime work have been sent out to police officers in the Stockholm area, according to the data.

On Monday, a Swedish citizen was shot dead while traveling in a car in the Ameria area of ​​Baghdad, according to local media.

Swedish police are working on the theory that it is a high-ranking gang leader who was previously linked to Foxtrot, according to Aftonbladet’s information.

Another Swedish citizen is said to have been arrested on suspicion of the crime, local media reports. A rival network is suspected of being behind it, according to Aftonbladet’s information.

In a live broadcast on social media on Monday, the designated leader of the gang directed allied death threats at several people on another network and urged viewers to “get in touch if they wanted assignments.”

Swedish police now fear that the suspected murder will lead to a spiral of revenge, according to the data.

There is a risk of confrontation between several rival networks and the police are now gearing up by reinforcing with more police officers in the Stockholm area and Uppsala.

Text messages about overtime work must also have been sent out to police officers.

Celebrating in social media

Videos and images from what are said to represent the murdered gang member abound in social media. Rival network criminals have also posted pictures celebrating the suspected murder.

When the crack in the Foxtrot network appeared at the end of the summer, it led to a bloody wave of violence. Now the police fear that a new wave of violence could be triggered.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the police are waiting for confirmation from Iraq if the murdered man is a Swedish citizen, according to the information.

Aftonbladet has been in contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which cannot confirm the information.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently not aware of a case similar to what you describe,” writes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an email.
